A story about being arrested for whipping a "gun" out in public and the police picking on kids.
lyrics
A man at the police station said I had a gun
He says he saw me whip it out and watch as all the pretty people run
They say they'll have to take me in for some questions, that's all son
But still they put me into cuffs even though I never hurt anyone
I should have known
How could I though?
I should have known
I'd take the blow
Well when we got down to the station, Officer Dick slammed my head in the wall
I swore I wouldn't say a word, I know my rights - give me my one phone call
I know somebody set me up because I don't even own a gun at all
They must have seen me in my rags, smoking fags, and figured that I could take the fall
I should have known
How could I though?
I should have known
I couldn't though
How can a person treat another living person like the shit and slime and scum of the Earth?
How can a dollar make another person smaller than their wallet when they know what they're worth?
